Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested former Ministry of Health chief procurement officer Roselyn Mwenye and the ministry’s former procurement officer Dominic Morgan over a cancer centre procurement deal.
Apparently, the two concluded the financial evaluation without the rest of the members of the evaluation team getting involved.
The contract is in relation to supply of non-medical equipment for the Cancer Centre Unit in Lilongwe, which according to ACB, was to the advantage of FJ Medical Supplies and General Dealers which was awarded the K983 million deal.
“They are suspected of abuse of office and neglect of official duty contrary to Section 25B (1) and 121 of the Corrupt Practices Act and the Penal Code, respectively,” reads in part a statement released by ACB Principal Public Relations Officer Egrita Ndala.
The two have since been granted court bail.
